STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters⊠S.T..R ⊠My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingridâs husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some donât die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this⊠STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a strokeâŠtotally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the â3â steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions : S * Ask the individual to SMILE .. T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg âIt is sunny out todayâ). R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTE : Another âsignâ of a stroke is 1. Ask the person to âstickâ out their tongue. 2. If the tongue is âcrookedâ, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. And it could be your own.
First reblog post that actually saves a life.
This is a life-saving post.
the more you know
yeah donât think that this canât happen to you or someone you know if theyâre young. my cousinâs wife is 33 and she had a stroke last year

My mother died after being paralyzed by a stroke. Please read this^
Reblogging to spread awareness đ
i noticed this thing with a lot of men. they tend to be really generous and kind only to women theyâre attracted to. duh, obvious statement to most of you but itâs jarring when you see it first hand and itâs so prevalent and insidious to the point that it feels uncomfortable accepting help from a strange without thinking of the possibility of him having ulterior motives. and itâs disheartening knowing that if youâre in a position needing a manâs help, a lot of times it will depend entirely on whether or not heâs attracted to you. and the problem is that they think this goes both ways. i can show a simple gesture of kindness and a man will take it as me coming on to him. me letting you go in front of me on the checkout line because you have one item, me offering change because you donât have any, or anything other well-intentioned act of kindness results in a man trying to eventually make a move thinking that itâs mutual. how sad it must be to think that thereâs no kindness for the sake of kindness. that all good done in this world is based on sexual impulses instead of the desire to help another human being just how you like to be helped.Â

Capturing Reality
We are all capturing reality, but we are all using different size nets. Some have nets for catching fish, others have nets catching birds, dogs, and flies. What makes humans unique is our ability to change the size of our nets. Aristotleâs net was based on his assumptions and his frame of reference. Copernicusâ net was based on his assumptions and his frame of reference. Paradigm shifts are created from having a new set of assumptions when the old assumptions are discarded and thrown out forever.
Reality shifts. Our perception, our understanding, and our assumptions of reality shift. Reality is still the same.
We find ourselves again in the midst of another paradigm shift. Upheavals socially, financially, politically, and spiritually. Foundations, or, what we thought our foundation was built on solid rock, are cracking, splitting. Scared and turning to things that have worked in the past: law and order, old time religion, and back to known safety nets and zones of comfort. The brave ones unravel the old assumptions and pave the way for adoptions of new ones.
Energy goes in and energy goes out. A simple conservation law of nature. The body requires food and waste is excreted. Heat is taken in and heat is given off. A simple balance. Like a chain of handshaking. Starts at one end and the motion of the handshaking goes from hand to hand until the last one that then finds another hand. This is energy. This is continuous motion and movement.
Your brain receives continuous energy from our energy from smelling, our energy from tasting, our energy from seeing, our energy from touching, and our energy from hearing. Energies from both inside our body and outside our body. Where does this energy go to? Thoughts. Captured thoughts from previous experiences and our reactions to them. Â
These captured thoughts make the size of our nets. These captured thoughts are our reality. Our lens for reality. Not the true reality, but the reality we are comfortable with. When you wake up in the morning, you are not confused, frightened, as you know where you are. What you did the day before. What you plan on doing that morning. And this continues. A pain-free bubble, a predictability with a structured certainty. This is our self-created life until our assumptions are thrown away! Then the unknown creeps in.

If youâve ever wondered why Egyptian mummies are so rare, itâs because wealthy Europeans ate them. Between the 12th and 17th centuries, while pilfering the continent for goods, resources, artifacts, and Africans themselves, colonizers also looted and exoticized Egyptian tombs. Mummies were ground up into medicines and consumed by the elite, believed to be a remedy for various ailments and an infusion of life-energy from the spirits of the dead. When Egyptian mummies became scarce after hundreds of years of eating them, corpses from other parts of North Africa and Guanche mummies from the Canary Islands were instead exported and sold to European apothecaries. But even as they engaged in cannibalism for their own selfish indulgences, one of the primary ways that Europeans demonized Indigenous peoples was by naming them all as savages and cannibals.
Colonizers have not limited their use of racial cannibalism to the medicinal. They have also used it punitively and vindictively. During the genocidal King Leopold IIâs occupation of the Congo (1885-1908), Belgians massacred more than 10 million Africans. Most were forced to work for the Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company, and were severely punished if they did not meet their rubber quota. In Donât Call Me Lady: The Journey of Lady Alice Seeley Harris, there is a black and white photo of a Congolese man named Nsala, seated at the edge of a porch. His eyes are fixed on the severed hand and foot of his 5 year-old daughter, Boali. The Belgian militia had cut them from her body before killing her and her mother. To further exact their cruelty, they ate Nsalaâs wife and child. They did this because he had failed to meet his rubber quota for the day.
The thing about white supremacy is that it does not merely subsist through the consumption of the Other; it whitewashes by de-emphasizing and lessening these misdeeds and others. History looks very different when white people are not the protagonists in its retelling. A significant instance: the accepted and well-known white feminist narrative about the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s is that it was a hysteria driven by rampant misogyny and a pointed persecution of white women, the survival of which they harken to as evidence of their historical resilience. I prefer to think of it, more accurately, as a community of racist, religiously-intolerant enslavers and colonizers of stolen Native land cannibalizing itselfâand I wish it had finished its meal instead of begetting centuries of white people who would gorge on the lives and cultures of Black and Indigenous folks.
As the Donner Party traveled across the U.S. as part of a violent westward expansion in 1847, a small group that broke off from the larger party became stranded without food in a grueling wintery hellscape. So, they conspired to murder their two Native American guides, Salvador and Luis, for food. The two men ran away, but were found a few days later and were swiftly eaten, the only members of the party to be hunted and murdered before they were cannibalized. Salvador and Luis are rarely spoken of when the story is told to relay the suffering and survival of the people who ate them. In the version of the story that tells the truth about colonialism and the violence it requires, the Donner Party are the monsters, not the damsels.
The Transatlantic Slave Trade was a monstrosity of boundless proportions. Its enormity altered the world in a multitude of ways and none were/are more changed by it than Africans and their descendants. Many Africans believedâor, rather, knewâthat white people were cannibals and feared that they would be taken away and consumed, like the others who had disappeared and not returned once white people began to arrive on African shores. Fear of white cannibalism on the ships carrying Africans to other lands was indeed palpable, and often led to attempted mutiny and escape or suicide by jumping into the waters below. â Sherronda J. Brown, THE HISTORY OF CONSUMPTION AND THE CANNIBALISTIC NATURE OF WHITENESS
